This is indeed possible.  That's exactly how VSH Manager works.

There are other ways to use GEM and RTX with multitasking too.
You can use messages to create the illusion of multi-tasking GEM.
Your GEM graphics applications can use a remote-call-procedure
technique to send GEM requests to a server that processes the
requests and takes care of necessary GEM process sensitive stuff.

Sorry about all the flapping, but I hope this gives some people
some ideas.
